Holy cow. Landon Donovan takes the rebound off a Jozy Altidore shot / Clint Dempsey touch off the Algerian goalkeeper, and drills it home, in extra time, to send the US team onward to the second round. I can't believe it.

You can hear the cheers from Bristol CT all the way out here in Los Angeles. I'm sure the ESPN brass is stoked beyond belief.

If Serbia wins and Ghana and Germany tie, the US would face Ghana. If Serbia and Germany both win, the US would face Serbia as they fall to 2nd on goals. If Serbia ties Australia, they should go home and drink themselves into a coma as they failed to beat the weakest squad in the group.
